What this skill does

Drive a desktop application from one plain-language goal, or resolve one intent at a time, without ever reading the accessibility tree. Use when automating a desktop app and you want to keep a 150-element JSON tree out of your context. Hand run.mjs a whole goal and it observes, decides and acts until the goal is met; hand act.mjs a single step when you want to keep the plan yourself. Covers which element, which operation, when to look deeper, and when to stop.
